  • *Responses on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly agree; much better) to 5 (strongly disagree; much worse).

  • †APPs, nurses and RTTs were most frequently directly involved in the supplemental visits.

  • ‡Also included the option for respondents to indicate that they were not aware which patients were identified as high risk by the algorithm.
